Anoher U.K submission from Damaged Goods Records who r quickly becoming my modern Day 4AD loyalty wise. Their bands are all rockin & seem to do alot of indie POP. which is really wot i like

Anyways this is the second 7″ 45 rpm i’ve reviewd by Betty & The Werewolves. The First was called Daivd Cassidy which I thought was a great piece of Wax butt it’s my Opinion that “Euston Station” takes the cake when it comes to comparrison soley cause it has a great b side in addition to the A

It’s another great POP single . Foxy ladies, Fuzzbox guitars, tight drums and bass, plus melodic female pop vox on the Frontline. Rather than try to describe the music in words you can visit their myspace page & listen 4 yourself although the streaming does not capture the essence and charms of their vinyl release

Imagine being sent a 7″ 45rpm 2 review @ as u look @ the front Jacket that feeling of Dejavu sinks in. u realise that you’ve slept with the entire hot all girl band last summer during pajama party Orgy inspired by A Bottle of Jack Daniels, Cocaine, Medical Marajuana and 4 sum reason, try as u might u can’t shake that uncanny feeling that somehow A Lamb was involved

O.K ,so wishful thinking aside, this an all Grrrl band that i’ve never heard of b4 called Period Pains. i like them right off the bat. Althoughth the music & style dosen’t appear 2b anything new or original it’s how i like my Porterhouse Steak; well done.

It’s funny, catchy, & all songs swim deep with Tom the La-z-Boy armchair rebellion. It’s Eve Liberteen meets a squeaky clean Britney Spears and somehwhere in the middle there r born Period Pains. @ Times the music seems somewhat Anarcho like A Chaos U.K record or & other Times Moore like Fuzzbox. The vox are definately Moore of a pop style

Tracks List
A) Spice Girls (Who do you think you are) – A clever & funny one taking the piss out of the Spice Girls – yeah
B1) Just 17 – 17 years old teenage period pains i Guess
B2) Heroes – sounds like Chaos UK with a Saxaphone and pop vocals – my favorite on the record

On 26th October 2004 i remember the BBC announcing that John Peel had died of A Heart Attack while on working holiday in Peru (lies: actually i

Book: John Peel - a tribute to the much-loved DJ and Broadcaster by Mick Wall Lays on A "Half Man Half Biscuit" John Peel Session Record

heard it re-announced from Steve Jones on the now defunct Jonesey’s JukeBox show on indie 103.1 as he secretly listened in on Radio 1 NeWS). It was indeed A sad & nostalgic day 4 the Sub Pop Culture music runaway underground scene booming in Great Britain & the rest of the world including Los Angeles & Orange County

This skillfully crafted tribute & biography of John Peel’s Life is A necessary book that fits Hand in Glove in any music lovers library

The paper pages & ink flickr through your fingers with ease & it’s genuinely A riveting read regardless of your existing knowledge of John Peel’s Life & that of his Happy Family.

John Peel played an instrumental role with hundreds of indie bands from around the world including The Fall, The Undertones, Futureheads, Billy Brag, The Strokes , Nine Inch Nails, The Flaming Lips, Belle & Sebestian, The Wedding Present, Inspiral Carpets, Happy Mondays & Pavement.

Strangeways, Oddites, Risk & LUV was how The Game of Life was played by John Peel. A Legacy of Perpeptual Operation From The Cradle to The Grave

My only criticism of the book is A small omission; perhaps not 2 Well known by the General Public & fable 2 only a few select industry insiders. Sadly John Peel’s passing happened only hours before his plan to break “The Fleiss” white label 7″ 45rpm single of “I’ve Disappeared” on the U.K underground sub mix market. HMV & Virgin Mega stores where forced 2 return all singles by DHL trucks 2 Your Mixed State in California as advertising plans, tour schedules & A rare appearnce on Top of Pops where temporarily forced off the road. A small detour butt the show must go on

If u wanna know where the alternative music is going & why it is what is in the USA Today, One must know from whenst it came & this book tells all, spills the Beanz

There’s 2 many cool tidbits & amazing stuff 2 cover this book fully so i say O.K Go Buy Now

p.s The OC indie hipsters who think that John Peel is buried under The Haunted Mansion @ Disneyland are fucking unbelievable twats

Recently i was feeling nostalgic & thinking bout the Grand Old Party days (pre 90’s) when i was as A young teen att school. Maybeline introduced me the U.K’s UB40’s Rat in the Kitchen album and i was Quick to become A fan hook line & sinker. Looking back, the L.P was one of my all time favs. Vinyl records was the main media stay back then & how lucky 4 me 2 find 1 download version on iTunes

UB40 need no introduction 2 most butt in sum their A pop reggae/ska line up with #1 hits all over the world. My favortie song on Rat in the Kitchen is the title track plus ” Sing Our Own Song”
